Hubbard of New York, will bring sadness to the hearts of those in this city and elsewhere who shar- | ed their acquaintance. Mrs. Hubbard died on Saturday at her home, ,65 West Nineteenth street. She was the daughter of Prof. Benja- min Silliman of Yale, who died about twenty years ago. She was the second of four sis- ters, Mrs. John B. Church of New York, now | deceased, Mrs. Dana, wife of Prof. Dana, and l Mrs. Gilliman, wife of Rev. Edward Gilliman | of Flushing, L. I. She had one brother, Prof. Benjamin Silliman the younger, of Yale, l who died two years ago. Mrs. Hubbard was born in this city in 1912 and was married to | Prof. Hubbard, one of her fathers assistants. 1 They went to Hanover, N. H., where Prof. Hubbard was appointed professor of chem l istry in Dartmouth college. Afterward they returned to this city and conducted board 1 ing school at Grove Hall, corner of Church street and Whitney avenue. Prof. Hubbard still retained his position at Dartmouth, hay ing little to do, being the oldest member of the | faculty. They removed to New York twelve years ago. Mrs. Hubbard was lady highly beloved and esteemed for her excellence of character. She was very prominent in | charitable and missionary work. She was at the time of her death president of the Wo- mems Board of Foreign Missions. For the vast interest and good she did in this work the board will this afternoon show their high esteem of her by holding special memorial service at University Place church, New York. Mrs. Hubbard leaves two daughters and one son, all of them unmarried. The remains will be brought to this city to-mor- row afternoon for interment at the Grove Street cemetery.
